Favorite Quotes: It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities. Don’t be afraid your life will end, be afraid it will never begin.

How Did You Get Hurt:I was hit by a car when I was little. A guy was arguing with his girlfriend, not paying attention, and backed the car up suddenly completely running me over. I was Life Flighted to Childrens Hospital in San Diego and after a few days they told my Mom I had suffered a C4/C5 Incomplete spinal cord injury. When I left the hospital I couldn’t move anything from the neck down but after years of therapy I’ve gotten a lot back. I spend 6 hours a week at a Spinal Cord Injury recovery facility called Project Walk. In the four years I have been going there I have made some ridiculous progress. You can keep up with progress at www.helppatrickwalk.org. I’m still in a wheelchair but that doesn’t keep me out of the water or snow.
